Hello ! I'm getting some noise when I engage just the front pickup.It's a single coil. It seems to go away when the other pickups are engaged.I'm wondering should I get a noiseless pickup,or whether to have mytech go over the whole thing and get better wiring and maybe shielding.Have any of you experienced this,and what have you done?Thanks!

There's a lot of different reasons why there's noise. Recommend you take it to a good guitar tech. You might want to ask him or her to set it up too. I know nothing about Phred guitars, but I can tell you that you can't beat the diagnosis and set up from an experienced guitar tech.

To diagnose yourself, you should start with checking continuity and confirm there's continuity from the strings to the pots to the ground of the output cable, and if there's metal knobs, continuity from the strings to the knobs to the guitar cable. If there's continuity then you need to start building up noise reduction (shielding, high quality pups, correct amp wiring, etc.). Good luck.
